A sketch by Donald Trump is being auctioned for $11,000

Donald Trump has many titles to his name. Businessman, TV star, President of the United States – and now he can add artist to that list.

The real estate tycoon's interesting impression of New York's iconic skyscrapers is being auctioned this week, with a starting price of $11,000.

While most of the buildings in the sketch are unrecognisable, one in particular stands out. Trump Tower is the focal point, its creator's signature scrawled in bold gold marker directly below.

"Donald Trump hand-drawn and signed sketch of the New York City skyline, with Trump Tower at its center," reads the listing, adding: "Light smudge and abrasion to right side, otherwise near fine condition."

The 11.5-by-9-inch drawing is being auctioned by a Los Angeles auction house specialise in "fine autographs and memorabilia". As no seller is listed, the identity of the collector behind the interesting art work is unclear.

The piece originally created for a charity auction benefiting global literacy. Other celebrities like Charlize Theron, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, and John McCain also contributed works to the 2005 fundraiser.

"Originally drawn by Trump for a charity event, and very rare, with only a handful of such drawings known," the listing finishes.

Some are calling the piece "minimal" or "simplistic", even "aggressive and phallic". Interpret it as you will, but know that if you're interested in picking up a piece of New York real estate memorabilia, you better have a decent chunk of change in your coin purse.

Trump's drawing is set to hit the auction block at Nate D Saunders on July 27 with bidding starting at $11,000.
